Dash Question
I've just been wondering if I was the only one on this whole board that has a warning light dash. Every picture I've seen of your guys' trucks have had gauge dashes and I was just wondering if the warning light dash is rare or just a piece of crap that everyone has converted it to gauges.

I had one on my first Longhorn.
They are crap.  ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it. FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.

I have one in my 69. I bought a gauge dash to replace it with. They are so plain looking, and you can't keep an eye on what you engine is doing... or about to do.

Wow, I must be the odd one here. LOL
My '69 has the no gauge bezel and I like the look of it. Im planning on adding some under dash gauges one day and leaving the clean look of the bezel as is. These bezels are also good if you want to add custom gauges. Just drill out the holes and slip in the gauge. ------------------ 63 Impala*66 Chevelle SS*69 Chevelle*69 C10 Stepside*71 Cheyenne 20*72 Chevelle Parts for sale: http://www.angelfire.com/trek/mr409/items4sale.html

The '72 pickup has the light dash. Plan on replacing it with a real dash eventually. Those other dashes make good donors for speedometers and fuel guages!
